Senses in use

  1. Acceptance due to a faithful saying · dominant

    In 1 Timothy 1:15 and 1 Timothy 4:9, the genitive singular feminine form occurs in the statement that a saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance. In 1 Timothy 1:15, the APB renders the saying as concerning Christ Jesus coming into the world to save sinners; 1 Timothy 4:9 repeats the evaluation of the saying.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both cited verses, the APB presents the clause as “worthy of all acceptance.” This shows the clause's presentation rather than isolating a separate English equivalent for the term.
